Answer:

  • (a)  area = 3y^2 +14y +16
  • (b)  perimeter = 8y +20

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of the point of Algebra is that you can work with things that stand for numbers (almost) as easily as working with numbers themselves. Here, you are given values that stand for the length and width of the rectangle.

(a) You know the area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width. The same is true when length and width are algebraic expressions that stand for those numbers.

  <u>Given:</u> length = 3y+8, width = y+2

  <u>Find:</u> area = length × width

  <u>Solution:</u>

     area = (3y+8) × (y+2)

Using the distributive property, we can perform this multiplication in essentially the same way we would for the numbers 38 and 12.

     area = 3y(y +2) +8(y +2)           equivalent to 30(12) +8(12)

     = 3y^2 +6y +8y +16                  equivalent to 30·10 +30·2 +8·10 +8·2

     area = 3y^2 +14y +16              equivalent to 3·10^2 +14·10 +16

(Of course, with numbers, there are relationships between units and tens and hundreds that let us further combine terms. When variables are involved, we can combine terms with the same power of the variable, but we cannot combine "y" terms with "y^2" terms the way we can with numbers.)

___

(b) The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four sides of the rectangle. Since two of those sides are "length" and two are "width", we can write ...

  perimeter = 2(length + width)

Making the substitution for length and width as defined above, we have

  perimeter = 2((3y+8) + (y+2))

  = 2(3y+y + 8+2) = 2(4y +10)

  perimeter = 8y +20

look at the figure shown below which step should be used to prove that point a is equidistant from points c and b
JulijaS [17]
D
is certainly wrong. You could extend the length of AD as far as you want and the two triangles (ABD and ACD) would still be congruent.

C
is wrong as well. The triangles might be similar, but they are more. They are congruent.

B
You don't have to prove that. It is given on the way the diagram is marked.

A
A is your answer. The two triangles are congruent by SAS

Which function does f(-1/2) ≠ -1
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

anything but 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-1/2)

If you plug in 2, you'd get -1. But if you plug in other values, it won't be equal to -1.
